There are a variety of ways in which you may enjoy the beautiful scenery of Hayling Island. Take a bike or a hike.

Enjoy a variety of walks with the Hayling Island group taking in the picturesque sea views.

This isn’t a sort of group to challenge the experienced or super fit walkers – it is more of a beginner class

The longer walk enables those who enjoy a slightly faster paced saunter to enjoy the Hayling coastline whilst socialising with friends.

Share a morning saunter with friends taking in the stimulating sea air and ever changing environment, returning for refreshments.
This is mainly a flat route. There are two short hills at the Rowlands Castle end of the route. The majority of the route is on cycle path, but 3 short sections are on road:
1. from The Recreation Ground, The Fairway, Rowlands Castle to the bottom of the hill in Durrants Road
2. the section of road between Langstone Road and Langstone Bridge on to Hayling Island. The pavements on both sides of Langstone Bridge (only) are cycle paths.
3. the southern loop of Staunton Ave, Sea Front and Sinah Lane.

The Hayling Billy Coastal Course is formed from packed scalpings, with a top dressing, there is some tarmac and some concrete and it can be a bit lumpy in places. Nearly all road bikes will cope but mountain bikes are better suited ” I pedaled the route on a mountain bike with slick road tyres and I was OK. There are points where some would opt to walk but these sites are few and far between and very short ” bearing in mind I bicycled the route the day following torrential downpours which pulled leaves off trees etc. a few pools about but on the whole it was pretty well drained.

If you want to know about a wonderful place to stay on Hayling Island then you should consider Cockle Warren. It is a wonderful little B and B on Hayling Island and you would not be badly served if you went there
